New Hope: Ray Riling 1952, a numbered copy form a limited edition of 400. (4to) Not paginated. Fine, no dust jacket. 23 full-page plates. The original glassine wrapper has minor chipping. A facsimile reproduction of the 1861 publication '...from the original regulations of the confederacy and other authorative sources.'. (American Civil War, Confederate States of America, Uniforms).

N.p.: N.p., 1856. Paperback. Small 4to. Self-cover. 8pp. Very good. Slight overall age toning, mainly to outer wrappers; occasional light foxing. Interesting compilation of extracts from Congressional speeches "by Southern members, in which is avowed the purpose... of dissolving the Union and overturning the existing Federal Government." Slavery and the fugitive slave law crop up often, and the troubled author concludes: "The shadows, sir, of the COMING STORM already darken our pathway. It will soon be upon us WITH ALL ITS FURY." Not in Sabin.

Philadelphia: King & Baird, 1866. Paperback. Small 4to. Stiff tan wrappers. 14pp. Very good. Bit of soiling to outer wrappers, else tight and nice. Collis, a colonel with the 114th Pennsylvania Infantry, published this collection of documents regarding the character of one Frederick Fernandez Cavada (1832-71) to protest Cavada's appointment as United States Consul at Trinidad de Cuba. Cavada was cashiered for "behav[ing] himself in a cowardly manner in the presence of the enemy, by absenting himself from the battle-field" at Fredericksburg, but was reinstated. Cavada displayed similar cowardice at Chancellorsville and Gettysburg, but resigned before he could be tried. Whether the publication of Collis's pamphlet affected Cavada's Consul appointment we have not been able to determine. Most unusual. First edition. DORNBUSCH I, P 275A. SABIN 14457.
